Since ancient times, the phenomenon of migration from rural areas to cities has always existed. With the development of China's social economy and urbanization, migrant workers have become the main force in urban construction and manufacturing development. However, in some special periods, such as epidemic prevention and control, financial crisis, economic downturn, etc., the difficulties faced by migrant workers have inevitably increased, and they have been forced to choose to return to their hometowns, which has led to the "return to their hometowns" of migrant workers. There are many reasons for migrant workers to return to their hometowns, such as being unemployed, unable to find a job, losing their economy and livelihood**;There is pressure to afford the high cost of living in the city;There are also people who miss their hometown, take care of their families, etc. They have accumulated their hard-earned money, hoping to seek a life for their family and solve some big problems when they return to their hometowns.
At the suggestion of some, migrant workers can choose to buy property in the county town to seek employment and life in the city. This way, they can use their hard-earned money to start a business or other investments, and also make it easier to go home to see the elderly, take care of their families, etc. However, in fact, most migrant workers are reluctant to buy houses in county seats, preferring to return to their rural hometowns. This is because these migrant workers are well aware that their identity is that they are farmers, and the city is not their home. Living in the county, not only can they not find a suitable job for themselves, but they also do not have the ability to do business. Once the county has economic difficulties or other unforeseen circumstances, they may be in trouble again. Relatively speaking, the countryside is the most ideal place for them to avoid risks.
First of all, rural areas can provide the best living guarantee for migrant workers during certain special periods, such as epidemic prevention and control. Compared with cities, rural areas are scattered and sparsely populated, and the rural environment is relatively closed, so migrant workers are better able to avoid risks and ensure the safety of themselves and their families during risks such as the epidemic.
Second, rural areas provide more ways of life and development opportunities. Once they return to their hometowns, they can become self-sufficient in the countryside by planting food and breeding, which can not only solve their own living problems, but also generate some income. Migrant workers in the city are often affected by economic and financial crises, and once they lose their jobs, they lose their livelihood**. In contrast, when they return to the countryside, they can have more economic autonomy and livelihood security, and no longer rely on job opportunities in the cities.
In addition, the people in the countryside are simple and simple, and people care for and help each other. Migrant workers working in cities face the possibility of having no relatives and an unfamiliar environment, and it is difficult to get help from strangers. In rural areas, the spirit of mutual care and mutual love among villagers is deeply rooted, and migrant workers can get more help and support in the face of difficulties, which they cannot get in the cities.
To sum up, the phenomenon of migrant workers returning to their hometowns is a realistic choice, and it also reflects their yearning and attachment to rural life. In some special periods, migrant workers choose to return to the countryside out of consideration for their own quality of life and future development. Rural areas provide a more stable living environment, broader development opportunities, and warmer human care, which cannot be provided by cities. With the development of the rural economy and the improvement of the rural social environment, it is believed that the tendency of migrant workers to return to their hometowns will become more obvious in the future.
